gel food coloring of the colors of the rainbows(red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 320°F (or 160°C), and place cupcake liners in each cavitiy of your cupcake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt.
Place all the wet ingredients in the container of a blender, and mix on low until smooth.
Make a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients to make a well and add the wet ingredients in the middle. Whisk, incorporating the dry ingredients at the edge of the well a little at a time until you have a smooth and homogenous batter. Scrape the side of the bowl with a silicone spatula to make sure there are no dry ingredients left.
Add the sprinkles to the batter and quickly but gently fold them in with a spatula.
Using a large ice cream scoop, fill each liner ⅔ of the way. Gently tap your cupcake pan against your countertop to remove any air bubbles in the batter.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before frosting.
Rainbow icing
Make a half batch of swiss meringue buttercream, or your favourite pipeable icing.
Seperate the icing into 6 containerd and color them into the colors of the rainbow. I like to do pastel shades.
Place a long piece of plastic wrap on your work surface and shape lines of icing with each icing next to each other using a small offset spatula or spoon. Roll up the saran wrap on itself then twist the edges to make a roll of rainbow icing.
Refrigerate the roll of icing for 10 minutes, or until firm enough to manipulate without muddling the colors.
Cut off one end of the rolled up frosting tube and place it, cut side first in a large pastry bag with a Wilton 6B pastry tip.
Pipe rosettes of icing on top of each cupcake before decorating with vegan sprinkles. Enjoy!
Notes
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Cornstarch is also known as cornflour in the UK and Australia.
